    Slow shower
    Hello experts,

    We are having a problem with low shower and tub water flows in both of our bathrooms where we moved in a while ago.
    The bathroom sink faucets used to flow low, and I was able to get rid of diposits and now they are better.

    However, I am not sure what to do with showers after failing to disassemble the water control knob.
    I have already checked shower head not having any diposits any more. It didn't help much. By the way, we have hard water.

    Please help!

    They are Delta faucets and showers, and the house was built in 1997. The shower knobs say Monitor 1400 series.
